Arduboy

The Arduboy is a handheld game console with open source software, based on the Arduino hardware platform.

The original version of the Arduboy was 1.6mm thick, with the height and width of a credit card, and was initially designed by Kevin Bates as an electronic business card.[1][2]

Later consumer versions replaced the first version's touch-sensitive panels by physical buttons, and include a protective plastic case, raising the thickness to 5mm. As well as the open-source Arduboy itself, a single-game version featuring an officially licensed (non-open) version of Tetris is also available.[3] Development was funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2015.[4]
